Chapter 498: Grief
The main city of the Spirit Butterfly.
A group of elite warriors sped fast towards the main hall in the center of the city.
Soon after, Lingqi appeared in the main hall of the main mother.
She slowly sat down on her throne, her gaze through the translucent draperium, at the reconnaissance team that had just returned from the front line.
With a soft click.
The wooden coffin brought by the Butterfly Warrior was opened.
Revealing a hideous and terrifying insect corpse inside.
"This is the Zerg warrior you just came into contact with!?"
Lingqi's eyes narrowed, her tone a little surprised and suspicious.
The Spirit Butterfly warrior led by knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and in order to take down this monster, our clan has lost at least several times more elite warriors. ”
After observing carefully for a moment, Lingqi couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.
The insect inside the wooden coffin looks like a flying ant.
But the body size is more than twice as large as the flying ant in her impression, and the body surface is covered with fine scales and hideous spikes protruding from the joints, all of which subvert her inherent perception.
"Mastermother, after further expansion, our territory is already about to come into contact with the territory of those mutant zergs."
The spirit butterfly who spoke paused, and her expression and tone suddenly became solemn.
After a moment of silence, she continued, "And those monster-like alien zergs, they are very powerful, and they can even be called terrible enemies. ”
"Although we didn't directly face the large-scale battle formation of the mutant zerg, our subordinates clearly felt a powerful and evil pressure, and it was transmitted from farther away, so that we didn't dare to act rashly, so we could only temporarily stop the pace of marching forward."
"yes, so in your opinion, what is the origin of those mutant zergs?"
Lingqi retracted her skirt and sat down slowly.
She closed her eyes, recovering her somewhat tired spirit.
"The subordinates don't know their roots, only that they seem to have mixed characteristics of different groups such as flying ants, red armor, and seven stars."
"Is it a racial fusion?"
Lingqi's brows furrowed slightly, falling into silence.
She was a little puzzled, and she didn't understand why such a strange situation had occurred after thinking about it for a long time.
After becoming the main mother of the spirit butterfly, she carried the power of the mother nest of the spirit butterfly clan and came into contact with the secrets that she was not qualified to touch before.
It is precisely because of this that I was surprised by the appearance of the mutant zerg.
From ancient times to the present, it can even be traced back to the period when various races were born in the land of Godfall, and those who are not pure and noble in blood cannot transform into spirit bodies, which is an iron law like the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it is also the gap between heaven and man that distinguishes the upper races from other vassals.
And the more noble and pure the bloodline, the more you can break away from the primitive ugly form of your own race, more smoothly perceive the spiritual will of heaven and earth, practice all kinds of magical spells, and then improve your life level step by step.
However, the problem arises.
Why did those mutant zergs violate this law?
According to the intelligence information collected, the stronger their strength level, the more they did not transform into spirits, but became closer and closer to the ugly form of their distant ancestors.
Such a reverse development really made her very puzzled.
Lingqi thought silently, and took a sip of the teacup in her hand.
Suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and she froze there without warning.
In the empty and quiet hall of the master mother, there seems to be a hideous figure quietly emerging from the eye.
At a level where she had far surpassed the previous generation of the main mother, that figure was still shrouded in layers of mist, and she couldn't really see what kind of secrets were hidden inside.
But that's what he seems to be.
As the level of strength grew, the body shape and appearance were also far away from the handsome spirit, but became more and more into a hideous and terrifying sword mantis form.
As soon as she thought of this, Lingqi was inexplicably a little distracted, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
There are many thoughts in the depths of consciousness.
In an instant, many thoughts came to mind.
He has said before that we must look at the whole world and not close ourselves to the country.
He also said that he should take the essence and remove the dross, and make good use of the doctrine of taking it.
At this moment, when she came into contact with those mutant zergs, and then remembered what he had said at the beginning, she seemed to understand something.
"Your Majesty, according to our original plan, our clan should ...... next"
Lingqi opened her eyes and interrupted the scout captain's words.
"We make plans only to achieve the goal, not to be bound by them, and we have to follow them one by one."
"He once said that there is no such thing as perfect planning and preparation, and the so-called clever plan is only something that can only be found in the romance of the script."
"The truly wise superior is often able to adapt to the development of the situation and make the most beneficial choice for himself from the complicated situation, rather than the so-called everything under control, which is only an imaginary ideal state."
Lingqi fell into the memories and sorted out her thoughts.
"He used to teach me that when I didn't have an overwhelming advantage, I sometimes resorted to victory by means such as taking the chestnut from the fire and pulling out the teeth from the tiger's mouth.
However, he also stressed to me that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles, and when you do not know and grasp the situation, it is best not to act rashly.
So, in the face of the powerful mutant zerg ahead, should I advance, or should I retreat backwards to find a period of peace and stability? ”
"Take chestnuts from the fire, and pull out teeth from the tiger's mouth."
"Victory is in danger, wealth and danger are sought ......"
The Spirit Butterfly Warrior was full of puzzled expressions, "Your Majesty, what is Li, and what is Tiger?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's a mysterious creature only in his hometown."
Coming out of the main mother's hall, Lingqi looked up at the dark night sky, and seemed to be a little weak and confused for a while, and it was difficult to see the next direction clearly.
"He told me that we are confidants, but I still don't understand what kind of confidant relationship is.
What's more, he didn't say goodbye, and so far there is no news, and I don't know if he has returned to his hometown, or if he has died in the cold and empty wilderness outside. ”
"In this stubborn and rotten world, he taught me to be different, and for the first time I saw everything from my own perspective.
As I drifted further and further down this path, I had an experience of loneliness that I had never experienced before, and it made me feel anxious and even a little afraid. ”
"Fear comes from a lack of firepower, so I can't stop moving forward, as he said, I am invincible, the enemy can be defeated, I am invincible for myself, and I am invincible for the enemy.
Therefore, I can't have any evasive mentality, only by discovering problems, facing problems, solving problems, and sharpening my edge in quenching again and again, can I ignite the glory of the great Spirit Butterfly family. ”
Lingqi took a deep breath of cool air and looked back at the attendant who was following her.
"Gather the elites of the whole clan, I will lead them to fight in person and confront those mutant zergs who have rebelled against the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
She said expressionlessly, and slowly buckled her armor to hide her delicate and fair face.
The attendant immediately took the order and left.
Poop!
Poop! Poop! Poop!
Melodious bells rang one after another.
It reverberated over the entire Spirit Butterfly Main City.
The next moment, the entire main city seemed to come to life.
Countless spirit butterflies walked out of their respective residences, draped neatly and quickly towards the predetermined meeting place.
If you look down from above, they converge into streams.
The stream continued to merge and eventually became a raging river.
At this moment, a sudden rumbling thunder sounded.
Completely cover the melodious bells.
The wind howled above the sky, and the clouds surged.
Quickly approaching from the end of heaven and earth, it occupied a large area of the sky in a short time, obscuring the light of the stars and moon.
The river of butterflies stopped surging.
The main city, which had just come to life, fell silent at this time.
All the spirit butterflies subconsciously looked up at the night sky, which had become pitch black due to the convergence of clouds.
There was no electric light in the low-hanging clouds, but there was rumbling thunder and explosions.
"This suffocating, tremendous sense of oppression."
"I can't believe it's happening so unexpectedly."
Lingqi narrowed her eyes, and her eyebrows were instantly filled with haze.
Above the sky are no ordinary dark clouds at all.
Rather, it is a worm cloud composed of densely mutated zergs.
Even the rumbling sound is not thunder.
Rather, it was the roar of countless zergs flapping their wings.
"Your Majesty, what appears in the sky is not dark clouds, but countless mutant zergs!"
The face of the Spirit Butterfly's attendant was gloomy, and his voice trembled violently when he spoke.
Never in her life had she seen such a horrific sight.
Even in the history of the Spirit Butterfly Clan, it seems that such a large number of military formations have never been recorded.
"I know, I don't need you to make a special reminder."
Lingqi breathed deeply, trying to calm her turbulent thoughts.
She looked at the opening of the main city's defense formation and sighed helplessly.
For the first time since becoming a matriumvirate, she had deep doubts about herself.
All the arrangement, all the planning, and the tremendous effort that went into it, in the face of the terrifying number of these mutant zergs, it was almost like a thin piece of paper, which could be easily torn apart without too much trouble.
At this moment, facing the palpitating mutant insect cloud and feeling the overwhelming pressure, Lingqi finally understood what he said more deeply.
That is, in the face of absolute power, all plans and arrangements will be useless and useless.
When she was still immersed in learning various strategies and thinking about what tactics to use to defeat the mutant zerg, who would have thought that these mutant bugs would jump out of the chess game directly.
With an unimaginable amount and desperate coercion, she condescended to blow the entire chessboard away, and almost smashed the great ideal that she had devoted all her heart and soul to.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, without warning, a large hole was opened in the thick and low-hanging cloud of mutant insects.
Lingqi narrowed her eyes violently, staring at the terrifying beast that was like a mountain.
It rampaged through the clouds, killing thousands of mutant zergs in an instant.
And the attack from the mutant zerg seemed incomparably small in front of it.
Unable to even get close to its body at all, it was crushed into slag in the violent fluctuations of the qi engine, and died no longer to die.
It attracted countless bloody rains and fell to the earth with a crackling crackle.
The air was filled with a fishy sweet smell that even dyed the main city of Spirit Butterfly a dark red color.
"W-what kind of monster is this!?"
"Why does it make me feel a breath that is similar to the brood, but more sacred than the brood?"
"There is also the heaven and earth spirit around it, as if it is the pet it raises, and let it drive it at will without complaint, which is in extremely stark contrast to my desire to attract the heaven and earth spirit."
Lingqi looked at the behemoth beast in a daze, and the whole person became a little sluggish.
She was surprised, confused, and confused.
I can't even believe my eyes.
It's as if everything that happens under the night sky is just an illusion that appears under the restlessness of the mind.
Not long ago, she had just felt despair from the sea of clouds composed of mutant zergs, and she had also deeply realized what he meant by absolute power.
But only a moment passed, and the sea of insects, which made her feel helpless, was turned upside down by this terrifying beast.
Therefore, the mutant zerg that overturned her chessboard was easily overturned by a giant beast beyond imagination at this time, and there was not even any room for resistance.
This feeling is despair within despair.
It was beyond her imagination.
Click!!
The night sky seemed to be torn apart.
Lingqi held her breath and stared at the behemoth beast, watching it swing its mutilated claws and turn countless mutated zergs into a rain of blood.
As if sensing something, the giant beast looked down and looked down, its eyes full of death, reflecting the main city of the Spirit Butterfly located deep in the dense forest.
Lingqi looked at him, and his whole mind became blank.
Although she was only glanced at, she felt that even the true spirit spirit no longer belonged to her, but had become a slave under the control of the other party.
She couldn't help but want to fall on her knees and give everything she had for it.
"No, I am a unique spirit butterfly, no matter how powerful you are, you can easily destroy me, but you can't make me truly surrender to you!"
Lingqi bit her lower lip violently, blood flowing freely down the edge of her visor, forcing herself out of this state.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but she thinks back to the eyes she just saw, and strangely finds anxiety and fear in them.
This kind of look is not unfamiliar to her.
It can even be said to be very familiar.
It's as if behind a giant beast, an even more terrifying monster is chasing, ready to hunt it as a prey.
After all, when she was hunting before, she had seen similar expressions in the eyes of many prey.
But what could this invincible beast be its prey?
In the entire heaven and earth, there is still an existence that can treat it as a prey?
This speculation was so strange that it even made her want to laugh inexplicably.
At this moment, Lingqi met the eyes of the giant beast again.
She froze suddenly, and did see the growing horror in it.
So, it's really scared.
Even the action became more violent.
I want to break through the sea of insects and escape.
But it was intercepted by those mutant zergs at any cost, at any cost, at any cost, at any cost, using themselves to form a barrier, and forcibly intercepting it with the accumulation of countless corpses for an instant.
Cracking sound!
Countless flesh and blood fell.
It was as if a heavy rain had fallen on Lingqi.
She didn't care about wiping it up, just staring at the tragic scene in the sky, just wanting to know what kind of development would happen in the future.
Rumble!
The mountain-like giant beast broke through the insect cloud, and it was going to flee away regardless of it.
At this moment, an unprecedented thunderbolt suddenly exploded.
The sea of clouds composed of mutant zergs instantly boiled.
They chirped in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
Blazing frenzy.
It was like cheering for the king's arrival.
In just a few breaths, the sea of mutant insects had lost most of it, and it no longer covered the night sky with the stars and the moon.
The dim light shone down from the gap in the insect cloud and landed right on the main city of the Spirit Butterfly, smearing a dark red blood color with a pale yellow color.
And in the center of the main city, where it happened to be the main hall of the main mother, there was a shadow, and no moonlight could cast on it.
"It's ......"
Lingqi held her breath and looked up.
His gaze fell on a creature he had never seen before.
It was suspended above the night sky, blocking the moonlight.
She didn't know how to describe the other person.
It is high up in the sky and overlooks all beings.
But it is difficult to perceive, and the chaos is unknown.
It's hideous and terrifying, but it's beautiful and elegant.
It is full of cold and dead intentions, but it is restrained and full of vitality.
It seems that it is not tolerated by the spiritual will of heaven and earth, and it seems to be able to integrate into it perfectly.
Little by little, time passed.
There was silence in the heavens and the earth.
It seems that the tragic blood just now is just a dream of awakening.
I don't know how long later.
A low, deep voice sounded slowly, finally breaking the silence of the night.
"Zhenjun has escaped for so long and run so far, he should have accepted his fate and stopped doing that fearless struggle and resistance."
"Thinking about it further, Zhenjun has survived from ancient times to the present, watching the people around him die in despair, leaving only himself still struggling alone, but he can't see the real hope, and in the end he can only gradually sink in the dark, walking in the same footsteps as Mingshu Xingjun."
"You're tired, but you're driven by that damn obsession to stick to the wrong path, and you'll never get true peace."
A faint sigh sounded quietly in the night, "You don't understand anything, how do you know what true tranquility is?" ”
"Only by letting go can we be liberated."
Wei Tao said slowly, slowly approaching the past, "Believe me, you can get true peace, my warm and fiery body is the real final destination of Zhenjun." ”
"Drop?"
"I've survived several catastrophes, and now I've just seen a glimmer of hope, and you're going to let me go!?"
"What about the cultivation of the true monarch to become a great supernatural power, you must know that the supernatural power is invincible to the heavens, it is precisely because the heavens want the true monarch to die, I will uphold the will of the heavens and meet the true monarch in this heaven and earth."
Wei Tao stretched his body, and the six spirits manifested and condensed, "Zhenjun can rest assured, since I have inherited your inheritance, I will definitely work hard to carry it forward to comfort the spirit of Zhenjun in the sky after his death." ”
Rumble!!!
The words fell, and he disappeared abruptly.
The remaining insect clouds fell to the ground one after another, and all of them lost their lives in an instant.
The next moment, Wei Tao had already come to the side of the moon beast, and burst out almost all of his strength without reservation.
Punch at the increasingly dilapidated body.
Lingqi's consciousness was terrifying, her body was tense, and she couldn't even roll her eyes.
It's like a flying insect stuck in amber, quiet and fixed.
Directly above his head, two terrifying demons clashed violently.
Electric dancing silver snake, thunder rumbling.
The dark night sky seemed to be torn apart.
I don't know why, she inexplicably felt endless sadness.
Like the sudden heavy rain, it was as if even the heavens and the earth were crying.
It seems to be the lamentation of the god who is in charge of the source of the spiritual consciousness before he is deprived of his life.
Little by little, time passed.
The rain of blood is pouring and endless.
Lingqi burst into tears and sobbed silently.
The entire Spirit Butterfly Clan was screaming in grief.
She vaguely sensed an indomitable will, which gradually became shaken as time passed, and she lost her steadfastness and resilience a little bit.
And with the disappearance of this will, it was as if the heavens were about to fall, and all her thoughts, all her ideas, seemed to crumble and destroy, losing all meaning.
I don't know how long later.
Suddenly, a low sigh sounded quietly in Lingqi's ears.
"The Godfall Land occupied by the Guardian Clan actually has nothing to do with the Fall of Silence, it should be the place where the True Monarch has his last hope."
"The familiar and unfamiliar Spirit Butterfly Main City in front of you is the real Godfall Land of this world."
Lingqi's body trembled, and she struggled to get out of that irrepressible sadness.
She turned her head a little and looked towards the steps in front of the hall.
The sound was so familiar that it even made her forget to breathe.
Wei Tao looked at her quietly, and said slowly with a gentle expression, "In order to seek a glimmer of life, Zhenjun has made great efforts to plan and arrange, and thus endowed the Zerg with wisdom, so that they can lead to the spiritual cultivation of heaven and earth, and become a new life that is completely different from the ancestors.
If you look at it from this point of view, the True Monarch can indeed be called the mother goddess of all Zerg creatures, and naturally he can take what he wants from them without being subjected to any resistance or obstruction. ”
At this point, he closed his mouth and fell silent, as if waiting for something.
"You, you ......"
Lingqi's eyes and expressions changed, and the whole person seemed to be in extreme confusion.
She trembled violently, her bloodless lips pursed as if she were saying something, but she couldn't say a word.
Just stared blankly at the young man in front of her, although this ordinary figure had never appeared in her memory, but there was an inexplicable familiar and intimate feeling, which quickly occupied all her heart.
"If it were other zergs, I probably wouldn't have wasted my time saying anything more."
After a while, Wei Tao spoke again, sighing secretly, "But for the former students, I am still ready to give you a chance, I want to see if you have really known yourself and embarked on a different path from other Zerg creatures." ”
"You, you're Yuanyi!?"
Lingqi suddenly opened her visor and took off her helmet, her eyes filled with tears again.
She sobbed under her breath and muttered to herself, "I don't know why, from the moment I saw you, my heart suddenly became a little frightened, and a complex emotion that is difficult to describe in words quietly surged up at the same time. ”
Wei Tao bowed his head slightly, and said slowly, "That's because the last bit of Zhenjun's residual thoughts didn't enter your true spirit soul, but because you gave birth to a strong sense of self, you couldn't transform your spirit in the first place.
I hope that Her Highness Lingqi can strengthen herself and not let the last bit of Zhenjun's residual thoughts take over, so that it will be more convenient for me to capture and engulf her completely. ”
Lingqi held her breath, "Yuan Yi, you tell me, what if I fail?" ”
"If you fail, she'll have more room to escape."
Wei Tao was silent for a while, his tone was still gentle, "But Lingqi doesn't have to worry too much, because if it fails, it's nothing, so I have to make some trouble, completely block the inside and outside of the main city, and then eat all the spirit butterflies, but I can also achieve the same goal." ”
